I need to replace my window lock, inside lock only, to sliding glass window between kitchen and porch. My old one no longer locks. It looks exactly like the one above left except that it does not have that curved piece at the very bottom. It is 15/16 of an inch wide, and 7 3/8 long. Written on the back is DIS Industries, 16 Inside Pull - Standard.
A window/Door store had one that was close, but not the same. It did not fit. Can you help me?

If your part is not exactly the same as the one in this photo, you'd be dealing with a different part. In that case, a photo of a part that doesn't match yours isn't going to do the trick. We would need to see yours, since there could very well be more differences than just the bottom part. Can we see a photo of the part that you do need?
On second look, I do have that same curved piece at the bottom. It comes out when I slide the lever on the right down. The only difference with your picture on the above left that the night lock on off switch does not have that little silver piece at the top of it. It has only the switch that turns left for on (lock) and right for off (unlocked). It is an old part. It was here when we bought the house in 1989, and maybe when the house was built in 1967. It has always worked until now. We cannot turn it to the locked position of "on" (left turn). It is stuck in the "off" position.
I am going to try some WD40, then put it back in and try again, when I get someone to help me hold it in place to put the window handles in place later today. But, do you have a part that can replace it? The dimensions are as I wrote them in my email above.

I have a 16 where the guts just broke.
